Discharge from the penis: Discharge is the most common sign of the infection. It may be thin or thick, depending on your health. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, men may experience discharge within two weeks of being infected. Although colour and consistency may vary, but discharge is not normal at all. You should head to the doctor immediately.

Your butt itches: Gonorrhoea can also affect your rectum, which may cause anal itching and discharge or blood. Experts says that some men might experience diarrhoea and pain when going to the bathroom.

A sore throat: Here’s a vital info for you! You can get gonorrhoea from oral sex too. It is believed that some men who develop gonorrhoea in the throat do not shown any symptoms. However, there are a few who may experience a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes.
